I concur with your perspective that fiat money, in and of itself, lacks intrinsic value. The primary aim should be resource accumulation. Currently, if you desire assets totaling a million dollars, such as firearms, food, land, machinery, or tools, you must possess a million dollars to obtain them. Amassing substantial resources necessitates active participation in the financial landscape. This aligns with the biblical wisdom: "The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down" (Proverbs 21:20) and "Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow" (Proverbs 13:11). I concur that balance is essential. A relentless pursuit of wealth for its own sake can lead to an unhealthy quest for power, which often corrupts individuals. It's unwise to hoard all your money and wait for the devaluation of the USD. Instead, consider investing in assets that generate intrinsic value and contribute positively to society. If you have the means and skills to produce things that people want and need, then you will never go hungry, and not suffer poverty. Our discussion is not centered on amassing immense wealth. Rather, it revolves around the notion of breaking free from the confines of wage slavery and acquiring valuable resources. Pursuing financial security and independence differs significantly from the relentless pursuit of wealth and power. Interestingly, the steps to break free from wage slavery are often the same steps that lead to continued wealth generation.
